English
We`ll sing a song, a soldier`s song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o`er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning`s light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We`ll chant a soldier`s song.
Chorus:
Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin`s cause, come woe or weal
`Mid cannons` roar and rifles peal,
We`ll chant a soldier`s song.
In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered `neath the same old flag
That`s proudly floating o`er us.
We`re children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We`ll chant a soldier`s song.
Chorus
